Blog Shares -Who's winning today?

Lots of people are upset today because of the lack of assembly, or really anything more than a ceremony over the PA. I'm not about to argue with it, it's a giant disruption to create an assembly for the whole school - though yes it is reason enough to cause a disruption. However this school does have a lack of respect as far as honouring the dead goes. I've never seen the flag at half mast unless someone (a student) asked it to be lowered and the PA ceremonies are sort of dumb.
God keep them safe our heroes of yesterday and tomorrow. Victor McConnell. Ernie McConnell. Chrsitopher Robidoux. John Robidoux. Fred.
May we always remember the lives that war has cost us. May we always remember the smiles that victory granted us. May we always remind ourselves that in war only one team wins, when in peace our race wins. We are but one race, may we live in peace.
*hugs*
In Flanders Fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
- Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae

sorry to be picky, but i love this poem too much not to be. "In Flanders Fields" is not a single stanza poem. it should look like this:
In Flanders Fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
God bless the soul of Colonel John McCrae.
Once again, I apologize for my pickiness.
